Under the scorching sun, the spearheads were extremely dazzling. The eight hundred warriors of Medved's Slavic Banners were now fighting in the name of the Principality of Rus. They share the same enemy. Not only are they accepted by the Principality of Ross, but the most important thing is that thousands of enemies are rushing towards them, and they are their own enemies.
"It's time to avenge our ancestors! Kill the villains of Pine Needles Manor and take back our farmland!"
Medvedt roared several inspiring calls, His men remained calm, arranged in a dense formation, and built a wall of spears about three meters in front of the team.
This group of people is not new recruits at all, but a group of warriors who have experienced the bloody battle on Gotland and killed hundreds of another group of Varyags with their own hands. Not only do they have no psychological revenge, they also have a confidence and arrogance that is rare in the Ilmenoslav community.
It was also for this reason that it was not until the army of Pine Needle Manor was about to rush in front of them that the erect spears were flattened one after another, forming a wall to welcome the collision of a group of guys who were not afraid of death.
The spear head that is deliberately designed to be a pointed cone has better piercing properties than a flat spear head. It is forged from chromium iron, and the overall shape tends to be triangular. It is more like a military spur than a spear head. Installed on a long wooden pole.
It was born for killing. When the sharp spearhead penetrates the enemy's body, it is a terrifying blood-breeding hole.
The enemy's blood spattered Medvet's face. He was dressed as a Russian, and his behavior was completely Russian.
Where the Flower of Blood bloomed, the Slavic warriors dominated by White Tree Manor became violent.
They fought crazily like the Russians, holding the wooden poles tightly with both hands, shouting and stabbing the enemies in front of them crazily.
The fierce frontal battle had just begun, and the farmers' armed forces of Pine Needle Manor that attacked the Ross Army's center suffered a major blow.
The spear formation is somewhat similar to the Swiss phalanx. The spearheads are tied with axes or daggers, making all the spears turn into halberds. The soldiers in the first row all wore chainmail armor sewn with metal sheets, like fish scales. They were very defensive and naturally located in the dangerous first row.
These front-line soldiers poked mercilessly. Even if the enemy was kneeling and vomiting blood, the sharp spearheads still poked at them with all their strength, as if they were trying to make meat sauce.
The soldiers in the second row assist the first row. They rarely wear armor but are also protected by the brothers in front.
Moving to the third and fourth rows, these soldiers can no longer rely solely on their spearheads to kill the enemy due to the distance between them.
There are always some lucky enemies who escape the initial thrust of the spear. They bravely approach the Russian army and begin to face blows from the sky.
The ax fell from the sky and chopped down with great force, cutting the enemy's liver and brain to pieces.
What a crazy scene this is. The Slavic warriors in the Russian army, the Russians, Balmoks and other traditional Viking ethnic groups subconsciously do not think that they are a strong army. It just so happens that this group of people, relying on "crude" spears, have built a ruthless "lawn mower".
The chargers of Pine Needle Manor were pierced by spears one after another, but the minds of those behind them were already blank. The men and women charged with their own crude weapons. They did not know the killing ahead, hoping that their collision would kill them. The formation of the Russian army was terrible, and then they relied on absolute numerical superiority to defeat the Russian army.
Some people with brains think this is the only magic weapon for Pine Needle Manor to win, but most people have forgotten everything, including forgetting what fear and pain are.
It is as if machines that were born purely for fighting have become a group that is not afraid of death.
Unfortunately, bravery and recklessness are just a matter of thoughts.
The spear warrior, who has no psychological scruples, does not care whether the enemy in front of him is male or female. This is a battlefield. If you don’t kill the enemy, you will die. Besides, they have been enemies for hundreds of years. Today is the time to settle the accounts.
Medvedt and his men kept advancing slowly with spears dripping with blood. Soon, they had stepped on the enemy's corpse.
There are also many enemies who have been fatally wounded and are groaning in pain on their deathbed.
Just behind the Slavic Flag, the command center of the Russian army is here. One of the duties of Rurik's heavy-armored mercenary guards is to supervise the battle team and hold the formation to urge the Slavic flag troops to maintain a slow attack posture. Now they are carrying steel swords and mercifully finishing off the enemies at their feet one by one.
Only part of the Pine Needle Manor Army attacked the Chinese army. This was originally the main direction of attack. As the attack was obviously blocked, it became a natural option to attack the two wings in a roundabout way and crush the Ross Army array.
The battle on the left and right wings of the Russian army took place slightly later than that of the central army.
Both Aric and Khelaphid led their men to build a shield wall. The first row of warriors used shields to protect their entire torsos, and the second row of warriors held up their shields to cover their heads and the brothers in front of them diagonally. forehead. As for the brothers in the third row, they are against the front row to ensure that the shield wall is strong enough.
A convex arc array with a length of about three hundred meters appeared. This was a solid offensive formation, and the convex arc also dispersed the enemy's impact well.
An astonishing collision broke out on both wings, and the attackers were overwhelmed with joy by their companions, especially those in the front row. They knew that the Russians had built a shield wall and they could no longer stop. If you stop, you will be trampled to death by the companions who follow you. If you charge, it will be more disastrous.
There were fierce impacts everywhere, and some parts of the shield wall were slightly loose.
Aric gritted his teeth and stayed on the front line. He held the sword in his right hand. He had just experienced the shock of the collision. The steel sword was thrust out through the gap in the shield. In an instant, bright red blood flowed along The bleeding groove of the steel sword flows into the shield wall.
"Kill! Kill everything! Drink the blood of your enemies like the strongest wine!"
Maybe Arik doesn't know what he is talking about, or what he is talking about. It's all meaningless.
As the flag captain, he is essentially unable to command the entire flag team during this bloody battle.
The moment the two wings collided, a large number of charging Pine Needle Manor warriors were stabbed to death with swords.
Of course, the casualties of the Ross army also occurred from this. Because many people lacked protection for their necks, the broad-bladed spearheads of the Pine Needle Manor Army began to scratch the necks of the Ross people.
There was gushing blood everywhere, and the battlefield was filled with a strong smell of rust and sweat.
The shouts of killing were heard endlessly, and there was an uncontrollable whooshing sound in the sky.
When the soldiers of Pine Needle Manor ignited their violent courage, even if their leader Vadim was injured and retreated to the rear, the soldiers still launched an unstoppable charge, even though they knew it might mean death.
Hundreds of people were killed by the Russian army in a very short time, and as long as they were still charging, the death would not stop.
The unarmored people were easily stabbed to death and hacked to death. A few lucky ones were finally able to fight the Russians at close range, but eventually died of being outnumbered.
The Pine Needle Manor Army continued to detour to the two wings, while the Ross Army also deliberately contracted its formation.
Could it be that Rurik could observe the entire battlefield situation from a God's perspective and see that the enemy was trying to attack in a roundabout way to break the formation?
No!
The simple reason is that at least four hundred enemies died under the spear wall of Medvet's Slavic bannerman.
This is the fact, because Rurik and Otto are already walking on the battlefield full of corpses of the dead, and the main body of the Russian army is embedding itself into the enemy formation!
In less than ten minutes of hand-to-hand combat, as many as a thousand people have been killed in Pine Needle Manor, and the number of dead in the Ross army can only be counted on one hand.
The balance of forces between the two sides has undergone major changes. The Ross army that landed is still 2,400 strong. Pine Needle Manor and a total of six allied troops present, only the more than 6,000 armed soldiers are left. Less than four thousand people attended.
Both sides fought fiercely on the battlefield outside the village where corpses were lying in pieces. Rurik originally thought that his military formation would be constrained into a stable ring, and he would win a decisive victory by relying on the blooming in the center. However, the enemy's morale finally collapsed!
Yes, Pine Needle Manor is no longer able to charge. Facing the aggressive Ross army, they are retreating, and the arrow strikes from above their heads have been causing casualties.
The blank minds regained their sanity slightly, and the living male and female warriors retreated.
To be fair, the morale of the Pine Needle Manor Army was not completely shattered. When the armed men saw that only a handful of people visible to the naked eye were left in a mighty army, despair took over them and they charged to the death. Does it still make sense?
After twenty minutes of hand-to-hand combat, the Russian army no longer needed to build a circular defense line and create a central flower, because the offensive and defensive momentum was different.
The two sides fell into a strange confrontation again. Both Aric and Khelafeld completed the adjustment of the shield wall. The injured man retreated to the end, and the dead brother pulled to the rear first. The shield wall first became Leveling up with the Chinese army's spear array, the two large claws like a crab began a so-called pincer offensive.
The effective resistance of Pine Needle Manor has been reduced to two thousand people. It is because they are too brave, or reckless, to attack from the lake.So far, more than four thousand corpses have fallen on the ground.
"Rurik, we can order a full-scale attack." Otto's sullen face and deep eyes seemed to see everything, and Rurik fully accepted his request.
Why issue an attack order? !
All the leather drums in the military formation began to beat wildly, and some horn horns blew hard regardless of the tone.
Grund and a small group of his guys have been "hidden in the snow". This group of Danish mercenaries are now all wearing the heaviest armor of the Russian army. Most of them are holding double axes and squeezing in. In the spear wall in front, a gap suddenly appeared.
Look! A group of berserkers wearing silver scales appeared again!
Their appearance is simply the so-called final blow that replicates the decisive battle on Gotland.
Grund, he felt that he was the star that attracted everyone's attention. In the new bloody battle, he should personally announce the beginning of the Ross army's full-scale attack.
"Brothers! For the sake of honor! Follow me!"
The words were very domineering, and his old friends attacked with all their strength. In fact, his words were addressed to the entire Russian army. However, the high-pitched declaration was drowned out by the shouts of killing.
The appearance of the heavily armored soldiers completely shocked the last Pine Needle Manor Army. Those who persisted until the end and were hesitating whether to push into the farm no longer had to hesitate.
Grund and his group are all physically strong men, and they cannot fight for a long time even though they wear this heavy equipment. Fortunately, they rush into the enemy's formation, slashing and killing them regardless of the gender of the enemy, as if a tiger has entered. No matter how many sheep there are in the sheepfold, it is easy for a hundred to be killed by a single tiger in one night.
This is the signal for a full-scale attack!
Aric was so excited that his blood surged. He raised the bloody sword and ordered: "Brothers! Fight freely! Go to their manor and steal everything you want!"
The fierce sword and shield hand instantly dismantled the shield wall, and the battle that showed personal bravery began.
The last Pine Needle Manor armed men were at a disadvantage in all aspects. They were killed like melons and vegetables. The violent Ross people would not spare them just because the enemy was a woman.
Because the Duke ordered again, the rebels and their families should be killed!
Pine Needles Manor has come to an end, because the Ross army has rushed into the manor, and the old, weak, women and children who have completely lost the ability to resist are facing a disaster.
Poor Vadim, he and a dozen of his last cronies retreated to the manor first. The army had already launched an attack. The brothers all advised the "Prince of Novgorod" For the sake of the overall situation, one should not personally serve as a vanguard and lose his life in vain.
This group of people were waiting. They fully expected that the assembled land forces could defeat the enemy with force, but they suffered a nervous breakdown in a very short period of time.
The Russians are about to rush into the manor!
With a cruel heart, Vadim pulled out the arrow from his arm, covered the bleeding wound and ran to the mansion first, dragging his pregnant wife to evacuate.The five new concubines were ordered to wish themselves well and escape for their lives.
These dozen people have fled to the northern edge of the manor. After passing through an oat field with lush green seedlings, there is a dense fir forest. It will be safe to hide in the forest.
But at this moment, Vadim’s wife was prone to miscarriage due to strenuous exercise?
The young woman fell down, clutching her stomach and yelling.
"Let's go! If we don't go, we will all die!" Vadim tried to take his wife away, but...
As if a shark smelled blood, a handful of first flags When the soldiers of the team's shooting unit received the order for a full-scale attack, they ran at full speed with their crossbows in hand.
Someone happened to see Vadim's brightly dressed image, and this group of people were like a bear hunting team, determined to capture or kill the guy personally in order to receive the reward.
They had already entered the farm and had no intention of attacking the women and children. Their target was Vadim and his group who had given up everything and tried their best to escape.
Arrows flew in. One of Vadim’s two companions was unlucky to be hit by an arrow in the neck, and the other had his entire ear ripped off by an arrow cluster on the spot.
The attacks continue.
Suddenly, Vadim saw his first wife vomiting blood and looking at him with an expression of extreme despair.
"You...run away..."
After saying this, the woman collapsed in the wheat field as if she had completely given up her life.
"No!!!"
Vadim yelled and burst into tears on the spot. A man who tried to persuade the boss to leave quickly was shot through by an arrow right in front of him. His whole eye...
The strong wind driven by the arrow blew into his face, and Vadim watched helplessly as his good friend died in front of him.
He panicked, no longer caring about his moral integrity, and even ignored the pain of the arrow wound on his left arm.
He left behind his wife, who had been hit by an arrow in the back and might have been able to save it, and several of his brothers who were groaning after being hit by arrows, and fled into the forest with the rest of them.
Vadim, when he fled into the woods, he cut off his hometown and Pine Needle Manor.
His journey of escape and revenge began.
But now, he must risk his life and flee, even if he loses some status.
He became a completely bereaved dog and entered the woods to face an unknown future. He didn't know if he had become bear fodder, died of starvation or had pus from his wounds.
He did not dare to commit suicide, and he did not want to be caught by Ross.
Those arrogant words before the battle and humiliating the opponent with the heads of dead Russian corpses only resulted in the annihilation of the entire army?
He knew what his dead father said. For those who committed the most heinous crimes, the Russians would hang them up and make them blood eagles.
What is a blood eagle? Vadim could relate that even if he died, he didn't want to die miserably as a blood eagle!
But he escaped, and for the entire Ilmen Lake StaAs far as the Russian society is concerned, the political life of "Vadim, Duke of Novgorod", who proclaimed himself a duke, has ended with the destruction of the manor and his own flight.
Maybe, that’s the case.
At least now, Rurik's Ross army has completely entered Pine Needle Manor. Now, everyone is doing evil. Seeing the corpses on the ground, Rurik's eyes widened, and his conscience hurt. Now he found that the situation was uncontrollable.
Russians, Balmoks, Ostaras, and other Vikings, as well as Slavic flag soldiers from this lake area, more than two thousand people began the most barbaric of looting and killing.
At this crazy moment, the follow-up troops from the three manors of Baishu, Calf, and Fisherman came on foot and joined this barbaric feast. Thanks to the clear markers on these latecomers, Avoiding accidental own injuries.
In troubled times, Li Wei can control the situation in a very short time, and then Li De can ease conflicts.
Rurik knew exactly what he had ordered. His conscience hurt a little, but he was already a king.
He did not give the order to stop, and by acquiescence he allowed the army to kill. He simply turned his back and pretended that he could not see or hear.
Because the leader of the rebellion and his family members will be gone, other estates who have seen the brutality and ruthlessness of the Russians will be afraid of the terror of the Russian army, and the entire Slavic community of Lake Ilmen will be under the threat of the Russian army. The state of peace is more peaceful than ever.
Only when the situation is completely stabilized and the intended rebels in other manors are found and killed, the rest will naturally be to give some carrots to appease the people.
"Ivan the Terrible is so crazy, right? Yes, Ivan the Terrible is my descendant..."
Rurik couldn't laugh, he found out The cruel side of his soul is obviously bound to the Rurik family.
This cruelty will be inherited by descendants and come to the world in the name of Thunder Emperor.
